Free Web NovelChapter 1266: Chapter 1168: It’s Time to Show My Strength!
In the next ten days, the martial arts tournament holds the preliminaries, where martial artists from dozens of cities across the Southern Province compete to gain qualifications for the finals.
As the organizers, the Celestial Dragon Association and Yihua Palace have ten days to train and observe the strengths and weaknesses of various opponents.
During this time, Yang Tian focuses on cultivating the techniques and divine martial arts granted by the Nuwa Celestial God.
With Chiyou’s arrival, Li Min could likely become the most competitive martial artist in the tournament.
Moreover, since Yang Tian knows so much, Chiyou probably has no reason not to let Li Min come to kill him.
Thus, Yang Tian seizes the time to cultivate the techniques given by the Nuwa Celestial God!
During these ten days, Yang Tian practices various divine martial arts and skills, but there is only one divine technique, and that is the Heaven-Repairing Divine Technique.
This technique was created by the Nuwa Celestial God when she gathered stones to repair the heavens in the human realm, a divine technique she considers to be superior.
After all, Nuwa was a mythical figure in the human realm.
Yang Tian hails from Huaxia in the human realm, carrying the aura forged thousands of years ago by the Nuwa Celestial God’s flesh and blood.
The Nuwa Heaven-Repairing Divine Technique is something Yang Tian mastered in a short time.
And within ten days, Yang Tian breaks through from the third to the fourth level of the Nuwa Divine Technique.
He still cannot confront celestial gods like Chiyou, but against Li Min, he has the strength!
Ten days later, the preliminaries concluded, and the martial artists who entered the finals paired up according to a raffle ceremony, adopting a single-elimination format where winners advance.
On the first day, Yang Tian was grouped with a martial artist from a marginal city, his cultivation only at the peak of the Breath Condensation Realm.
Yang Tian defeated him without breaking a sweat.
There were many disciples participating from Yihua Palace, and Hua Tiandu hadn’t shown up much these days, so Yang Tian had no qualms about using the Nuwa Divine Palm to defeat his opponent.
Having trained with the Drunkard for so long, it was time to showcase his true strength.
After all, this would be his last time staying in Yihua Palace!
In the subsequent matches, Yang Tian held nothing back, showcasing the Nuwa Divine Martial Arts, with no one able to oppose him, propelling him into the top hundred in a short period.
On the second day, Yang Tian just arrived at the battlefield and was already respectfully invited to the main hall by two staff members.
There, the supervision group led by Hua Tiandu and Lin Zhenbang had been waiting for quite some time.
Yang Tian looked up and saw several participating disciples in the audience below, one of whom was Li Min.
"Li Min is here too?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Yang Tian’s eyes.
The host, Jiang Zhangjie, understanding Yang Tian’s confusion, smiled and said, "Yang Tian, due to your five consecutive wins in the preliminaries, you directly enter the top hundred, along with others like Li Min, Wu Zu, Sudan Red..."
Yang Tian nodded.
He walked to the audience, extending his divine sense to explore the surroundings, unable to sense Chiyou’s presence.
"Martial artists in the top hundred will be prioritized for drawing lots to compete. Whether you win or lose, you won’t be eliminated; points will just be calculated. When all contestants enter this stage, your advantage will emerge."
The host introduced with a smile.
Yang Tian nodded in agreement.
Those with five consecutive wins entering the top hundred early hold an advantage.
"Now the drawing ceremony will begin. If you are willing to participate, you will be rewarded with points. If not, it won’t affect your subsequent matches!"
The host said, as two elders began drawing lots.
Soon, the results showed Yang Tian would face Li Min, Wu Zu would face Sudan Red...
"It’s happening!"
Yang Tian stood up.
He knew that Chiyou couldn’t sit still, surprised at the speed at which he would be facing Li Min.
"Yang Tian, this round of matches is a point-based competition. All martial artists entering this round can earn corresponding points through competing." Hua Tiandu told Yang Tian: "If you wish to enter the top ten, you must participate!"
Yang Tian uttered a casual sound.
He treated Hua Tiandu with indifference.
Seeing Yang Tian’s poor attitude, Hua Tiandu’s face darkened: "Yang Tian, have you become arrogant? Do five consecutive wins make you float away? Have you forgotten who you are? I’m telling you, you were cultivated by our Yihua Palace, and the divine martial arts and techniques you practice all belong to us!"
"Is that so?"
Yang Tian chuckled coldly.
As Hua Tiandu burned with anger, he slapped towards Yang Tian’s face: "Reckless fool!"
But Yang Tian grabbed Hua Tiandu’s wrist.
In that moment, without reservation, Yang Tian released Nuwa’s Divine Breath, causing Hua Tiandu to step back thrice.
"Nuwa Divine Technique!"
Hua Tiandu’s expression changed dramatically, glaring fixedly at Yang Tian.
He never expected that Yang Tian was cultivating the Nuwa Divine Technique!
Throughout this time, he had been probing what divine technique Yang Tian practiced and had suspected it was the Nuwa Divine Technique many times, but ultimately denied it.
But he never imagined that Yang Tian was truly practicing the Nuwa Divine Technique!
Yang Tian chuckled coldly and walked towards Li Min: "Li Min, want to spar?"
"Let’s spar!"
Upon seeing Yang Tian, a killing intent flashed through Li Min’s eyes.
This Yang Tian knows too much; if he doesn’t die, Chiyou will surely blame her.
Thinking this, Li Min coldly said, "Yang Tian, let me inform you in advance: this official match allows any life and death situation without penalty."
"So you intend to act during the tournament?"
Yang Tian asked coldly.
Li Min scoffed coldly and walked towards the battlefield.
Across the battlefield, hundreds of arenas with thousands of disciples competing for the top hundred spots.
However, upon seeing Yang Tian and Li Min step onto the arena, unbeknownst to who spread the word, the audience erupted.
"Did you hear that these two martial artists already entered the top hundred?"
"Does that mean their duel will be more exciting than anyone else’s?"
"Only martial artists with five consecutive wins have the eligibility to enter the top hundred earlier; their duel is definitely a contest for the top ten!"
In an instant, the audience flocked, fixing their gaze on Yang Tian and Li Min.
Both Hua Tiandu and Lin Zhenbang walked out onto the battleground, seated at the host platform.
Throughout, Hua Tiandu wore a dark expression, coldly watching Yang Tian, unsure of his thoughts, while Lin Zhenbang occasionally chatted with Hua Tiandu, deliberately stepping on him.
In the sky, Chiyou monitored the situation.
Seeing Hua Tiandu’s dark face, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes: "Is this one of Nuwa’s disciples too? Seems to be hostile to Yang Tian? Then he can be used by me!"
